Welcome to Yorkie's Primitives

About Me

I have been married to my wonderful husband for 40 years. We have 2 girls and 6 grandkids and 3 extended grandkids (2 nieces and 1 nephew). I love spending time with my family, sewing, woodcrafting, cooking, gardening and anything crafty. I have crafted for over 30 years doing everything from making dolls. macrame to cross stitching and have now developed a special love for primitive crafts. I enjoy making these crafts and thinking how it must have been in prairie days without all the luxuries that we have. So sit back and relax and enjoy my blog.

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
